Cairo

Cairo, Egypt—the vibrant capital where modern skyscrapers rise beside historic mosques and ancient minarets. Home to the iconic Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Nile River, and centuries of Egyptian history, Cairo is the perfect destination for culture, adventure, and unforgettable sightseeing.

The Story of Cairo

Known to Egyptians as Umm al-Dunya, 'Mother of the World', Cairo was founded by the Fatimid dynasty in 969 CE, though the area has been continuously inhabited since the founding of Memphis nearby over 4,000 years earlier. As successive dynasties layered mosques, palaces, and citadels onto its medieval core, Cairo grew into the largest city in Africa and the cultural capital of the Arab world, all while the Pyramids of Giza have watched over it from the desert's edge for more than 4,500 years.
